As an American I have no idea what a loch is (its like a lake but could also touch the sea??), but the borders I had suggested were no further north than where those elephants are now (though the one you took a turn or two ago above the elephants was a freebie).

A loch is the Scottish word for lake. We have a lot of sea lochs in Scotland.

Anyway, I think it's unfair to call the most northerly cilvilsied region in the world a "freebie"... the elephants took it a whole month before had established friendly diplomatic relations. By natural law, (along wth elephantine law) it belongs to the birds.

At a later date, I may want to use it to expand east. But we can talk about that when the time comes.

Does anybody know if building a castle on a swamp is a bad idea? I'm guess it is?

You're Caelum? I think you guys build swamp forts. i don t have any experience but i think it's advantageous in the sense that you get a mage factory that doesn't cost as much and can be put up comparatively quickly. They're also easier to defend while being stormed. However they have terrible administration so low income/resources.

Opps! Bit of a miscommunication there last turn. Sorry Arco! Hope we can sort it out. I submitted a turn for Lanka just now as it was about to host and I thought it best to get one in rather than stagnate/ask for rollback. Hope thats ok with you GSU? I took the liberty of invading 3 of your neighbours to make things interesting.

It's fine, sending passive-aggressive diplomatic messages is one of my favourite parts of the game!

The mighty T'ien Chi.. what are you interested in? I'd accept 3 for the second dwarven hammer i make. I'm a few turns off making the first even.. but its an offer

As I found out earlier in the thread, there's no such thing as a second dwarven hammer in this mod, since it's been turned into a unique artifact requiring construction 8. This page is really good for those kind of things: http://dom3-mod-inspector.googlecode...?mod=CB1.94.dm

Sorry all, the net was down in my flat for a while.
OK @c'tis and kailas- no problem ㅎㅎ
and by the way whose great idea was it to bump dousing rods up to unique? makes being a blood nation super problematic.

It's partially cause they make a non-blood nation boostrapping into blood much easier. Empower a commander into blood, start searching slightly better, get a rod, repeat times two (I think that's the blood math, 6 levels total per province, 2-2-2 or 3-3). I certainly would be doing that if it was possible, but Kailasa also gets access to Lanka's blood summons so I have more reason than most.

Also I think some people just don't like blood/think its too strong and this at least aims to keep it in line with other schools seeing as hammer and gemgens got the same treatment.
